Abstract (en)

A connecting structure in a switch device with AC inlets is disclosed wherein, when terminals of the switch device are connected together using a thin metallic connecting strip, there is no fear of an external force being imposed on the terminals and causing damage to the connection between the terminals and the connecting strip, nor is there any fear of unstable contact, and which can keep a terminal holding position of the bracket stable and is superior in assemblability and reliability of connection. The switch device comprises AC inlets having a connecting pin for AC input and an inlet terminal for connection, an AC switch having a connecting-side terminal and an output-side terminal, a metallic connecting strip for electrically connecting the inlet terminal of the AC inlets and the connecting-side terminal of the AC switch with each other, and a bracket with the AC inlets and the AC switch attached thereto. The inlet terminal, which is connected with the connecting strip, is provided with a connecting piece for connection with the connecting strip and an arm portion having the connecting piece at a free end thereof, the free end of the arm portion being flexible in a rotational direction centered on the axis of the connecting pin of the AC inlets. <IMAGE>
